Bad weather is postponing the historic SpaceX launch of NASA astronauts from Florida; the next attempt is expected to be on Saturday.
The SpaceX Falcon 9 was expected to lift off 4:33 p.m. Wednesday from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, in Florida, for the International Space Station.
NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken were scheduled to ride into orbit aboard the brand-new Dragon capsule. The flight would have marked the first time a private company sent humans into orbit.
It was supposed to be the first launch from Florida since NASA’s final space shuttle flight, in July 2011.
